Built FC works along the principles set forth by Future Commons (www.futurecommons.ph), a Sustainability focused Research and Design office. It believes in considering the Building Life cycle when it comes to the built environment. When compared to the cost of construction, the post occupancy cost is significantly higher. In a research conducted in the 1990s, a typical office building through its 30 year life cycle will have a ratio on construction, maintenance, and operations cost at 1:5:200 respectively (Wu and Clements-Croome 2007; Evans et al. 1998).
Even a well designed building’s performance can fail during post occupancy once user and user behavior are factored in. Hence, Post Occupancy maintenance is critical towards efficient building performance. Built FC can help property owners create a stress-free built environment, one project at a time.
